Abstract: System and method for locating and identifying nerves innervating the wall of arteries such as the renal artery are disclosed. The present invention identifies areas on vessel walls that are innervated with nerves; provides indication on whether energy is delivered accurately to a targeted nerve; and provides immediate post-procedural assessment of the effect of energy delivered to the nerve. The method includes at least the steps to evaluate a change in physiological parameters after energy is delivered to an arterial wall; and to determine the type of nerve that the energy was directed to (none, sympathetic or parasympathetic) based on the evaluated results. The system includes at least a device for delivering energy to the wall of blood vessel; sensors for detecting physiological signals from a subject; and indicators to display results obtained using said method. Also provided are catheters for performing the mapping and ablating functions.

Abstract: Residue solutions produced from leaching a mineral resource and extracting a primary target therefrom may contain impurities such as Fe and Al. The present invention relates to a process for extracting rare-earth metals from residue solutions with reduced impurities. The process comprises: recovering a residue solution wherein the residue solution is produced from leaching a mineral resource and extracting a primary target metal therefrom;  adjusting the pH to pH 5 to pH 11 to generate and recover a precipitate;  placing it in an aqueous solution so that the pH is 3 to 5 and then removing a residual-precipitate; adding oxalic acid to precipitate a rare-earth metal oxalate; recovering the rare-earth metal oxalate and then converting it into a rare-earth metal oxide; and electrolyzing in a molten salt to collect in a metallic state a rare-earth metal at a cathode.

Abstract: Embodiments provided herein include techniques for enabling a mobile device to communicate with smart media in a manner that can sidestep the secure element of the mobile device-and the costs associated with it. The mobile device can communicate with the smart media using near-field communication (NFC) by creating an encrypted connection with a remote computer while bypassing a secure element of the mobile device. This allows the mobile device to provide point-of-sale (POS) functionality by reading and/or writing to the smart media, without compromising the security of the smart media.

Abstract: Systems and methods for use with haptic devices. A control system for haptic devices determines a first course of action based on a user's motion. Prior to implementing the first course of action, the control system determines if the first course of action would lead to instability in the haptic device which could cause an unsafe situation such as failure of its components. If the first course of action would lead to instability, the control device determines a second course of action that would not lead to instability and implements this second course of action. To assist in this second course of action and to prevent potential oscillation in the haptic device, the control system also selectively dampens a projected action of the haptic device. A haptic device using such a control system is also disclosed.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une couche de nappe fibreuse collée de manière hydrophobe, des procédés pour la préparation d'une nappe fibreuse ou d'un revêtement à base de fibres, un produit de carton multicouche comprenant au moins une couche intermédiaire formée de ladite nappe fibreuse, ainsi que l'utilisation d'un agent tensioactif thermosensible pour lesdits procédés et produits. Selon le procédé, de la cellulose microfibrillée (MFC) et de la colle hydrophobe sont converties en une mousse avec de l'eau et l'agent tensioactif thermosensible, la mousse est amenée sur une toile de formation d'une machine à papier ou à carton, épaissie par aspiration de l'air à travers la toile de formation, et séchée pour former un produit de nappe. En variante, la mousse peut être amenée sur une nappe fibreuse préfabriquée et séchée pour former une couche de revêtement. Pour éviter la dégradation progressive du collage hydrophobe, la fonctionnalité hydrophile de l'agent tensioactif contenu dans la nappe est finalement détruite par la chaleur. Le procédé utilise, par exemple, des agents tensioactifs à base d'AKD avec une partie hydrophile qui est décomposée par la chaleur. Si une pâte d'une longueur de fibre plus importante, telle que la CTMP, est également incluse, un gonflant élevé, en combinaison avec une valeur de liaison de Scott élevée, est obtenu, ce qui fournit une meilleure résistance à la traction à sec et à l'état humide pour les produits de papier et de carton.
